has released the newest expression of its Yellowstone Limited Edition bourbon, this time with an influence of Amarone red wine casks.
The new 2021 Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey features 7-year-old and 15-year-old bourbons hand-selected by Limestone Branch Master Distiller Stephen Beam, including select 7-year-old barrels finished in Amarone casks. The new edition is bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) and sold in custom-designed bottles featuring embossing, a high-end natural cork and a label featuring the 2021 Yellowstone Limited Edition emblem.
“Amarone is a rich, red wine that – much like bourbon – takes time and patience to craft and requires at least two years in oak casks to age. Finishing select barrels in these Amarone casks brings notes of fresh cracked pepper and tobacco, as well as hints of black cherry, fig and dark chocolate to the classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla and hints of citrus,” Beam said in a prepared statement. “With a finish of oxidized fruit, cherry and black currant, this bourbon is reminiscent of pre-Prohibition whiskeys.”
